Could just be that the bolt backed out because it was not torqued properly from the factory. Once the siphon tubes open up pump pressure can push water in the hull. They only work with the exits in the right spot to create the siphon.

But yeah I would check the pump out.

I agree... however he stated that he "just broke the pump venturi". How in the heck did he do that? At what degree of damage? Or did he just lose a bolt and forced water back to his bailers?
